LAClNG-STUD FOR GLOVES, 80C.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 285,050, dated September 18, 1883.

6, 1883. (N0 model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Louis H. IVIANSBAOH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State useful Improvements in Lacing Studs for Gloves; and I do hereby declare the following invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had'to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or ures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Heretofore it has been common to employ hooks in connection with a lacing-cord for lacing the wrists of gloves together. Hooks have, however, proven objectionable, as they engage in laces and other loosely-woven fabries, to the great annoyance of the wearer.

The object of my improvementis to provide a substitute for the hooks thus used, which will retain the lacing-cord without engaging in such loosely-woven fabrics, and which, re sembling buttons in appearance, produce a much richer ornamental effect.

My invention is further explained by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 represents a front view of a glovewrist provided with my fastening device. Fig.

the device for attaehing the same to the glove. Fig. 3 is also a side View drawn at right angles to that shown in Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a top view.

Like parts are represented by the same reference-letters throughout the several views.

A is the stud. The face of the stud A is provided with a narrow slot, B, extending downward at right angles to the face on one side at C, while the opposite side of said slot is curved out, forming a groove, D, for'the re- I ception of the lacing-cord E. (Shown in Fig. 1.) The studs are so attached that the sides, provided with grooves D, ai'e brought along the margin F F of the wrist, so that as the lacing-cord E is drawn taut it will be retained in the face of the studs by the groove D. The studs are attached to the glove by the flexible metallic barbs or prongs G G, the barbs G G being held in contact while inserted through the fabric of the glove, when they are separated and turned back firmly against the fabric of the glove, as shown in Fig. 2. Thus the fabric is held firm between the head A and said prongs G G, whereby I am enabled to secure said studs against a broader retainingsurface, thereby lessening the liability of their being torn from the glove, it being obvious that no space is required for the lacing-cord beneath the head of the stud. One end of the lacing-cord E is permanently attached to the glove by a knot in the eyelet J, while the other free end is provided with a knob, K, which engages in the groove of one of the studs, as shown in Fig. 1.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The glove-stud herein described, consisting of the slotted and undercut head, provided with the flexible metallic prongs G G,substantially as and for the purpose specified.

2. The combination, with the wrist of a glove, of the slotted and undercut stud A, provided with retaining-prongs G G and lacing cord E, as set forth.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

- LOUIS H. MANSBAOH.
